Kim Kardashian, the founder of Skims, has once again found herself at the center of controversy after a social media post featuring her eldest daughter, North West, sparked heated criticism. In the now-viral post, North can be seen flaunting a $7.9K Louis Vuitton bag paired with $1.4K sneakers while posing alongside her famous mom. While some fans praised the duo’s stylish look and luxurious taste, others were quick to call out Kim for “flaunting her wealth” in a time when many are grappling with economic challenges.
Critics took to the comments section to express their disapproval, accusing Kim of being out of touch with reality. “It’s so tone-deaf to post this during such difficult times for so many people,” one user wrote. Another commented, “Teaching your child to value material things this much is not the flex you think it is.”
Despite the backlash, Kim has remained silent on the criticism, focusing instead on her ventures and family moments. Supporters of the reality star argue that she has every right to enjoy her wealth and share glimpses of her life, pointing out that her success has been hard-earned. “She worked for what she has, and people shouldn’t shame her for spending her money how she wants,” a fan defended.
This isn’t the first time Kim and her family have faced scrutiny for their lavish lifestyle, and it likely won’t be the last. As one of the most followed celebrities in the world, every move she makes invites both admiration and criticism. For now, the post has reignited the age-old debate about the responsibilities of the wealthy when it comes to sharing their lives in the public eye.
